The New York State Society of Professional Engineers (NYSSPE) held its annual Fall Conference in Syracuse, New York on October 26th through 28th. A variety of classes were offered covering topics including Structural Building Condition Reviews, Detectors, Meters and Air Quality Measurements, Cellular Confinement & Load Support as well as Engineering Ethics. Attendees received up to 5PDHs during the conference.

The most notable action from the meetings was that NYSSPE’s BOD voted to integrate with the NSPE’s proposed unified dues model which will lower member dues to $299. If the model is officially accepted, it will take effect on July 1st. The model, which we have previously written about here, was crafted by a special National Committee on which NYSSPE Executive Director Anthony Fasano, P.E. served.

A very big thank you to all of the NYSSPE staff, sponsors and exhibitors for making this event a success for everyone.

NEW YORK, NY—NYSSPE (New York State Society of Professional Engineers) is offering Energy Codes for Commercial Buildings on November 29, 2017 at Club Quarters, 52 William St., New York, NY

Energy Codes for Commercial Buildings (Part #1)

The objective of this Commercial Energy Code Seminar is to educate the construction community about the energy code in order to increase compliance. The presentation includes an in-depth review and analysis of the mechanical systems requirements for commercial buildings. This seminar is more oriented to “understanding” the code rather than just repeating the code. The presentation is full of graphics (no more brick slides with the traditional copy and paste of the code) with the main sections of the code highlighted as an organized follow up of the contents. It also includes explanations of the applicability of the section; and corresponding images of real-life building situations of both compliant and non-compliant constructions, as appropriate. In order to enable greater compliance with the energy code, we encourage a discussion around interpretations and applications of the code by addressing the building science and intent behind the code’s prescriptions. Within each section of the Code, there are numerous seemingly small issues (often only one sentence) that have a large impact. We identify and discuss these points to ensure that attendees understand the full application of the code. In part 1 of this two part seminar the commercial energy code requirements for mechanical systems will be presented.

Energy Codes for Commercial Buildings (Part #2)

The second part of this presentation includes an in-depth review and analysis of the envelope and lighting/power requirements for commercial buildings. The presentation is full of graphics (no more brick slides with the traditional copy and paste of the code) with the main sections of the code highlighted as an organized follow up of the contents. It also includes explanations of the applicability of the section; and corresponding images of real-life building situations of both compliant and non-compliant constructions, as appropriate. The last section is devoted to enforcement of the code to ensure compliance. Since the Code is primarily a prescriptive code and the majority of projects will be able to readily comply, emphasis is placed on the standard compliance path using COMcheck. The performance-based Energy Cost Budget Method of ASHRAE 90.1 will be introduced as an alternate method of compliance. In part 2 of this two part seminar the commercial energy code requirements for envelope and lighting/power systems will be presented.

The speaker for the event is Juan Toro, HBDP, CPMP, LEED AP, PE. Mr. Toro is an experienced mechanical engineer and has been responsible for designing complex and innovative mechanical systems for several LEED certified buildings. He has a Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering; he is a Licensed Professional Engineer in the States of New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, and North Carolina and holds certifications for High Performance Building Design Professional (HBDP) and Commissioning Process Management Professional (CPMP) from ASHRAE; Commercial Energy Plans Examiner and Commercial Energy Inspector from the International Code Council (ICC); and LEED Accredited Professional (LEED AP) from the USGBC. Mr. Toro has several years of design and commissioning experience from a variety of projects, including high-rise buildings, hotels, corporate interiors, museums, natatoriums, and Libraries. His experience in HVAC systems design includes central plants, chilled water, hot water, and steam systems. Mr. Toro is also an Adjunct Professor at New York University and Pratt Institute in their School of Continuing and Professional Studies.

The office of New York City Department of Buildings (NYC DOB) Commissioner Rick Chandler, PE invited the New York State Society of Professional Engineers (NYSSPE) to attend an industry meeting held on Tuesday October 31st, 2017 which was intended to provide a presentation of DOB’s Progress Report highlighting their new online platform DOB NOW that continues to be improved. Attending the meeting on behalf of NYSSPE were Anthony Fasano PE, Executive Director, Joseph Pasaturo PE, Treasurer, and Rudi O. Sherbansky PE, NYC Regional Vice President.

During the meeting, Mr. Chandler discussed the DOB’s improvements made in reducing the time for DOB to accept development filing (first response) and perform required DOB inspections throughout the City. The slide presentation by Mr. Chandler showing DOB’s progress report will be available online on DOB’s websites within the next few weeks.

The presentation included statistical charts showing that the average time for a DOB plan examiner to respond with comments/objections to a New Building or Alt Type 1 filing was reduced from 11 days in 2015 to just 5.2 days in 2017. Alt Type 3 average response time was reduced to about 1 day. There were no statistics available regarding the total time it takes from initial filing to obtaining final plan approvals.

DOB Boiler inspections average response time in 2017 was about 3.1 days, Construction inspections average response time 2.3 days, cranes 2.2 days, electrical inspections 5.4 days, elevators 2 days, and plumbing 3.4 days. DOB Complaints response time was about 0.4 days for an A-Type complaint (hazardous) and 19 days for B-Type Complaint (administrative complaints, e.g. work w/out work permit). There were no statistics available regarding response time for Stop Work Orders and Site Safety Reviews.

The Presentation included an update on DOB Now filing system. DOB Now is accepting filing of required self-inspection reports for plumbing, elevator, cranes, facades, emergency response and boilers (among others). In 2017, about 10,000 boiler inspection reports and 6,000 facade inspection reports were filed through DOB Now. Additionally, DOB Now is accepting filing of plan applications for plumbing, standpipes, antennas, curb cuts, sheds, fences, scaffolds and signs. In or about December 2017, DOB Now will start accepting the filing of electrical and elevator work online.

The presentation included an update on the DOB Code Development process and the various committees assigned to revise or update the 2015 NYC Building and Energy Codes. The DOB, through the work of its committees, completed a revision of the 2016 Energy Code. DOB is also working on creating a separate Existing Buildings Code for alteration work on existing buildings and will present the first draft in or around 2019. DOB has recently put out an RFP to develop new waterfront regulations and waterfront construction codes of over-water structures. DOB stated that the goal is to reduce the regulatory burden.

The presentation included an update on the Construction Safety Report of injuries and fatalities. Construction injuries doubled over the past 3 years to about 501 injuries while fatalities were fluctuating between 8 to 13 per year. DOB attributes this increase to an increase in construction permits and construction jobs as well as the increase in reporting of minor injuries such as a thumb cut. Mr. Chandler also discussed various pieces of construction safety legislation introduced by City Council’s Housing and Building Committee and the cost burden of these bills on the construction industry. The proposed legislation doubles penalties for site safety violations as well as requires reporting injuries to OSHA, reporting to public, introducing new site safety supervisors, and Local Law 196 requiring workers to take 40 hours safety training plus 10 hours OSHA safety training.

There was no progress regarding the proposed law to increase the fees of pre-consideration and re-consideration applications to $1,500 and increase determination appeals to $2,500.

The above video is a New York State Society of Professional Engineers (NYSSPE) legislative update on recent updates to the proposed parking garage legislation. The video is presented by Anthony Fasano, P.E., NYSSPE Executive Director and NYSSPE Legislative Counsel Mark Kriss, Esq.

Here is a time-stamped breakdown of the video to make it easier to find the sections of interest to you:

[0:06] A. Fasano introduces video topic.

[0:24] M. Kriss describes the initiative and discusses how it is aimed at ensuring that the structural integrity of garages across the state is sound.

[0:50] M. Kriss mentions that the building codes is currently deficient in addressing this issue which is why NYSSPE crafted legislation last year which made it to the Governor’s desk .

[1:23] M. Kriss gives an update on the recent proposal to the State to implement an inspection cycle for these structures.

[1:44] A. Fasano asks M. Kriss to describe the process that this legislation will now go through.

[1:47] M. Kriss explains that now this will strictly be a regulatory implementation, which Mark describes is just as effective as a legislative process.

[2:08] M. Kriss explains the components of the proposal which include the minimum of a 3 year cycle for inspections of these structures, unless a structure visibly shows deficiency, in which case it could be sooner.

[2:35] M. Kriss mentions that there isn’t a clear timeline for this implementation as of yet, as it is still in draft proposal stage.

[2:45] M. Kriss said that a professional engineers or someone under their direct supervision is required to do these inspections based on the proposal, which NYSSPE is very happy about.

About 4 years ago, at the New York Society of Professional Engineers (NYSSPE), we decided that we needed to create a way for New York City design professionals to interact with the NYC Department of Buildings (DOB). A way that would help these professionals stay up to date on the latest codes, and also meet and ask questions of DOB officials including Commissioner Rick Chandler, P.E.

Four years later, we just held our fourth annual Design Professionals Day and over 100 design professionals packed the room to learn and network. Topics presented included:

Commissioner Chandler also spoke for the fourth straight year at the event. The Commissioner focused his remarks on the importance of safety on construction sites. He mentioned legislation passed recently by the City Council mandating safety training for everyone who steps foot on a construction site. This is a message that we all need to hear repeatedly.

All of the technical presentations were very engaging, evidenced by the large number of comments and questions after each one of them. Once again this event achieved it’s goal of connecting design professionals with city officials to help both parties be able to do their jobs better.

NYSSPE would like to thank Professor Chiarelli, P.E. and the rest of the staff at the NYU Tandon School of Engineering for once again hosting the event.

NYSSPE also surveyed attendees and will continue to perform more training in the city on topics of need.

The City Council last Wednesday unanimously approved the renaming of a pedestrian span connecting Old Howard Beach to Hamilton Beach to the “Joel A. Miele, Sr. Pedestrian Bridge,” in honor of the former Community Board 10 Chairman and commissioner of two city agencies who died four years ago.

The law clearing the way for the renaming was introduced by Councilman Eric Ulrich (R-Ozone Park). “He was the embodiment of public service who dedicated his entire adult professional life to serving our city and community,” Ulrich said in a social media post shortly before the Council’s vote. Ulrich added, “A special thank you to Community Board 10 Chair Betty Braton who spearheaded this effort.”

Renaming the pedestrian bridge — located at 163rd Avenue and 99th Street over Hawtree Basin — was picked in honor of Miele because he lived near it and his son and widow still do, according to Braton. Miele was chairman of CB 10 from 1979 until 1990, at which time he was named a member of the city Planning Commission. Even after leaving the board, he attended many of the meetings as a concerned Howard Beach citizen, speaking on issues such as a proposed conversion of 99th Street — the block he lived on — into a one-way corridor back in 2001. In 1994, then-Mayor Giuliani named him the commissioner of the Department of Buildings and in 1996 shifted him to the Department of Environmental Protection. He was later appointed to serve on the Board of Standards and Appeals until he retired in 2005 and returned to his private practice on Furmanville Avenue in Middle Village with his son, Joel Jr. Joe passed away in May of 2013 at 78.

On Sept. 29th at 11:00 am, the City of New York will be naming the pedestrian bridge over Hawtree Basin at 163 Avenue for Joel A. Miele, Sr. PE in recognition of his many years of service to the City of New York. There will be short ceremony at the intersection of 99th Street and 163rd Avenue.
